[ Well I'm assigning him eyepatch because like, weird ghostly huge electro-shock sure was a whole thing. ]

Huh?

[foreverphantom]

...you mentioned the CATs. And the Ghost Zone. And Clockwork.

So I'm asking you, what happened?

[unsync]

Yeah, I told you, it was the CATs...

[ Ugh... he grimaces so much at this...

First off, he grimly looks around to see if there are any listeners. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ lowly: ] ...did you cheat?

[unsync]

[ Loudly: ] No!

[foreverphantom]

...did the Nasty Burger blow up?

[unsync]

[ How DARE you even bring that name into this house. ]

How do you know that restaurant? You know, they really probably should have closed down ages ago...

[foreverphantom]

[ huffs dryly ] They really should've.

I know it because it's where I used to go all the time after school.

[unsync]

......

Casper High?

[foreverphantom]

[ the tiniest of flinches...but then a nod ]

[unsync]

That's your school?

[foreverphantom]

It was.

[unsync]

What do you mean, "was"...?

[foreverphantom]

[ ...ah. shit.

he tenses for a moment but then sighs. ]

I...moved away, after the CATs.

[unsync]

[ He supposes, if the CATs determine your future, then this would make perfect sense. Except isn't Danny still 16 or something. ]

What happened at yours?

[foreverphantom]

...I cheated.

It didn't go well.

[unsync]

. . .

Nasty Sauce?

[ It's like vaguely occurring to him that the more he recounts this tale, the more he feels like he should find this absolutely ridiculous actually, but he's still riding the highs, mostly lows, of high school. ]

[foreverphantom]

So the Nasty Burger did blow up for you too.

[unsync]

How could that happen twice?! Who's running that franchise?!

[foreverphantom]

It's the sauce. [ laughs mirthlessly ] Strange how one massive fireball of highly combustible condiments can ruin your whole future, isn't it?

[ lowe. lowe i need you to know. i need you to understand. that this is an actual canon line that was for real said out loud. ]

[unsync]

[ I remember........ ]

...

[ The absurdity of this statement makes him realise this can't possibly be real, what the fuck? ]

I... guess... so?

[foreverphantom]

So if you took the CATs, and then everything blew up, then let me guess...

...you ended up staying with Vlad Masters?

[unsync]

[ Me having to try to remember if Vlad actually ever introduced himself ever. ]

...There was some guy, yeah. Grey hair.

1/2

[foreverphantom]

Yeah, that's him alright.

Wait, but then if you ended up at Vlad's, and then you guys came back here dead, that means...

[foreverphantom]

[ he bursts out laughing. it's not a nice sound, there's no joy in it. if anything, it sounds mean somehow ] Oh, man. You guys have no idea how lucky you are!
